Tuesday afternoon, Freeman died on his doorstop after being shot in the head.

His wife thinks she knows where he may be hiding out.

"After the first marriage, he disappeared in the wilderness for six months and lived," she said. "He's a survivalist and they were hunting partners and they went hunting every year and I guarantee he's in the Gila and there's a place called Camptown and that's where he is."

Sgt. Mark Kmatz with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office said, "Looking on the Internet, looking at forestry maps, we haven't been able to locate something specifically called Camptown."

Deputies have received many tips that Hovland, an avid camper and outdoorsmen, may be headed to remote areas of New Mexico.

Kmatz said, "Based on everything we've been told, it sure sounds like he could spend a considerable amount of time out there and survive."

But without specific information on where he might be or how he's getting there, the search is stalled.

"Without knowing where to start, it goes way beyond a even a needle in a haystack," said Kmatz.

Freeman is hoping for justice soon, but for now, remembering her husband.

"He loved his family," she said of her husband. "He loved our dogs and they were his babies and he was so proud of this guy."

While deputies wait for more specific tips, they are working on the investigation into why this may have happened and how.

They are looking over paperwork and computers seized from both Hovland's home and Freeman's.

They are also trying to determine how many guns Hovland owned.

They found 24 in his home but want to know how many he may have with him now.
